How about "Total Rotor Thrust" for the force perpendicular to the disk ?

This can then be resolved into vertical and horizontal components.

In fact, there are two possible horizontal components - a longitudinal one for forward/back motion, and a lateral one if the helicopter is banked or traversing sideways.
